Seed Starting 2026


As I go through life it is my goal to bring praise to his name who created it all!

“…Christ will be exalted in my body…”

I’ve been working on my garden a bit. I just planted a few tomato seeds. This year I plan to have three varieties of tomatoes. I started two of them on 2/14/26. The varieties I planted are both my favorites, Sun Gold and Red Snapper. I have another variety I will plant for a late season tomato that I’ve never tried. It is called the Florida 91 tomato. We’ll see how this experiment goes! I also have some pepper seeds I will be starting soon but I thought it might be a bit early to try that right now. Tomatoes are my favorite thing to grow in the garden and Sun Gold tomatoes are my favorite snack!

Well here’s the one week update. I kept dropping the Red Snapper seeds so I do not have quite as many of those..

I’ll update soon on how these starts are doing. I’m planning to wait a week or two then start some others.

Seed starting is my favorite!
